A 40' Typhoon (Pics)

Post by fenixrises »

Hi all,

This boat was just launched from Dockland5 one of the haulout, maintainence and building facilities here in Whangarei.

The name is Katherine III and is headed to Baton Rouge, LA.

It is a fine example of the boatbuilder's art here in New Zealand.

Cold moulded with beautifully finished teak decks and trim.

Take care all and happy holidays,

You should always have an odd number of holes in your boat!

I would assume they are going to ship it and not try and sail it back to LA~.

Except the dodger.

You would think that someone who can afford to spend what, 500K?, on a daysailer could afford to hire someone to design a dodger that does not ruin the boat's appearance.

On closer look, the Friendship 40 does look like an expanded, or enlarged scale of a Ty.

Whatever make, it sure is a beauty. Maybe I'll order one, too. In my dreams. :D

What about the Ty 53?

Post by Duncan Maio »

I saw hull #1 of the Friendship 40 at the Newport Boat Show a couple of years ago - it's a sweetie (although I didn't see it with the dodger, Stan) but basically a daysailer, and so not really very practical.

The 53, on the other hand, could take you places, and draws less than 5 feet with the centerboard up.

I haven't seen Ted Fontaine in a while, but perhaps we should invite him to the Rendezvous next summer.

Duncan,

Thanks for the tip. Now I know to get the 53 and not the 40!

The name "Alerion" (which literally means Heraldic Eagle) first gained nautical prominence back in 1912, when Nathaniel Herreshoff designed a 26' sloop for his personal use - and called it "Alerion". The timeless appeal of this design has spawned a host of imitations but the Alerion Express 28 is cast in a different mold. Rather than attempting a warmed-over re-creation of an old classic, Designer Carl Schumacher has drawn a yacht that retains the traditional look topside, but is completely modern in rig, underbody and construction detail. (From Alerion web)

I always thought of the Alerion Express 28 as a good measure of what it would cost to build a new CD25D through CD28 today. I'm guessing a range of $75-100K. There's a 2000 AE on Yachtworld for $74K.

We've all got great boats thanks to Carl A and Mr. V!

Greg, she is a beauty. Looks more like a Pacific Seacraft than the typical Ericson.
